As always - how does Sony have *ANY* idea of weekly sales in the US? Why wouldn't their "sales" be shipped figures (i.e .what they SOLD TO STORES) like they always are?
These are the numbers they get paid on, they numbers that matters for their fiscal - AND the only numbers they can track.
It actually makes sense for the shipped figure to rise for this week, as stores build up more stock for Xmas sales.
...
We'll have to wait a FULL month to get NPD verification on this data - and by then there will be some other story grabbing our attention.
(you don't see them making such statements in Japan - as all the numbers are well tracked/reported)
